packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil

or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to

thoroughly clean and protect the surface. NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the

chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on_

Write down the model and serial numbers.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls° Be sure you understand

how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use

them°

2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.

Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your

new oven°

Oven Shelves

NOTE:

• You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first

few times you turn your oven OnoThis is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed the process, set a seN-clean cycle for 4 hours. See

the Self-Cleaniug Oven section°

• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may

continue to run even after the oven is turned off°

• You will hear a convection fan while cooking with the convection fea_tre, The fan wi!l stop when the door is opened, but the heat wi_ not turn off.

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that, when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven,

and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out

to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven°

This wii1 eliminate reaching into the hot oven_

Sheff Positions

The oven has seven shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E, F and G (top),

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Convection Cooking, Baking, Roasting and Broiling

sections_

To remove a shelf Bump from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward

and pull the shelf out. Be sure the

shelf is cool before touching it.

To replace, place the shelf on the

shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and

push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support, Then lower

the front of the shelf and push it all the way back° NOTE: The shelves for the convection oven are

2 inches shorter than the regular oven shelves.

CONVECTION COOKING

What is Convection?

In a convection oven, a fan circulates

hot air over, under and

around the foo& This

circulating hot air is evenly distributed

throughout the oven

cavity. As a result,

foods are evenly

cooked and browned--often in less time with

convection heat.

When Should You Use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and

roast, here are some general guidelineso In convection bake, heat comes from the heating

element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the

food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

In regular baking, the bottom oven element heats the air in the oven which then cooks the food..

Convection Bake

- Ideal for baked foods cooked on 3 or more shelves.

(Additional shelves may be ordered. Pub No. 3-A014.)

• Good for large quantifies of baked foods.

• Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cream

puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Regular Bake

• Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top crust when not baked with convection heat.

Because food is heated faster in a convection oven

when using the convection modes, many types of food

can be cooked at lower temperatures than those

suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe

books often give times and temperatures for cooking

in regular ovens° Convection ovens make it possible to reduce the temperature by 25°E

CAUTION: The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened_ DO NOT leave the door open

for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection

heating element°

In convection roast, heat comes from the top oven element. The convection fan circulates the heated air

evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a

rotisserie_ Using the roasting rack provided, heated air

will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same

time, creating a rich golden brown exterior_

Convection Roast

• Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

• Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement around food.

Regular Roast

• Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook

a long time in liquid to become tender°

• Cooking bag

• Foil tent

. Covered dish

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in

the oven° If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not

touch each other or the wa!ls of the oven. Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven° However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking_

• Darkened or matte-finished pans wili bake faster than shiny pans_

• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly_

Paper and Plastic Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens° Plastic cookwate that is heat-

resistant to temperatures of 400°E can also be used. When baking cookies, you will get the best results

if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should use a pan with low sides° Hot air cannot circulate

well around food in a pan with high sides.

CONVECTION BAKING

(upper oven only)

As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°E for convection baking°

Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes_

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on

two, three or more shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some

foods but the overall result is time saved. Multi-shelf baking provides very good results with cookies,

biscuits and other quickbreads.

Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time.

Use pan size recommended in the recipe.

When baking on three shelves, place

one shelf in the bottom (A) position, one on

the third (C) position and one in the fifth

(E) position.

O O

NOTE: When convection baking with only one

shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in Oven Shelves in the Baking section.

CAUTION: Be very careful not to bum your hand on

the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A)o

How to Set Your Oven for Convection Baiting

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1, Press CONVECTION BAKE.

2. Press the number pads to set the

temperature.

3. Press START. When the oven starts to

heat the changing temperature wilt be in the display. (The display starts changing

once the temperature reaches 100°E)

4, Press CLEAR/OFF when baking is

finished.

NOTE:

* You will hear a convection fan while cooking with

this feature. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

*A cooling fan may turn on and off to cool internal

parts° This is normal, and the fan may continue to

run even after the oven is turned off.
